Isaiah 43:21-28

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
    but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
²³ You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
    or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
    or wearied you with frankincense.
²⁴ You have not bought me sweet cane with money,
    or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins;
    you have wearied me with your iniquities.

²⁵ I, I am He
    who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
    and I will not remember your sins.
²⁶ Accuse me, let us go to trial;
    set forth your case, so that you may be proved right.
²⁷ Your first ancestor sinned,
    and your interpreters transgressed against me.
²⁸ Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
    I delivered Jacob to utter destruction,
    and Israel to reviling.
